In Rajasthan, drought has forced nearly one-third of households to migrate.

The relentless water scarcity is exacerbated by a plummeting groundwater table in Jaipur, which has dropped 25 meters over the past decade. This crisis not only uproots families but also strains local resources and infrastructure, leading to broader socio-economic fallout.

Communities are struggling as they lose access to reliable water sources, forcing them to move in search of better conditions.

The long-term vulnerability is stark: continued drought could lead to further depletion of groundwater reserves, making the region increasingly uninhabitable.

What is the long-term climate outlook for this region?

With persistent drought and declining water tables, Jaipur faces a grim future. The Suraksha Lens risk platform offers some hope by empowering communities to assess their risks, but more robust measures are needed to secure water resources and support those displaced.

The outlook remains challenging without significant intervention.
